Naomi created a timeline of potential titles for their opening based on an analysis of Napoleon Dynamite titles. She also researched appropriate fonts for horror films to design fitting titles. The production team decided to use video Naomi took of bats at London Zoo for a new horror-genre specific institution logo, finding it more effective than an alternative jellyfish logo. Naomi designed the main title in After Effects as a cursive writing that shatters, representing the genre and themes.

2. Titles
After our 2nd draft we decided that we needed to
add titles to our opening. To start I created a titles
timeline showing all of the titles we could include
in our opening, I used my analysis of the
Napoleon Dynamite titles to decide upon the
order to put them in.

3. Fonts
I decided that to ensure that our titles were fitting
to the genre and themes in our opening and film.
This made it easier when trying to design out
titles and adding them to the opening. I looked at
the importance of fonts in films and the different
types of fonts used in horror films to decide what
would be the most appropriate for our opening.

4. Institution Logo
After completing our 2nd draft
we also decided that we
needed a new institution logo
that is more specific to the
genre. In the half term I had
taken a trip to London Zoo and
I had videoed the bats there,
we decided that using this
video would be appropriate as
bats are a common convention
of a horror film. We created 2
different logo’s one using the
bats and another with Jellyfish
however we decided that the
bats were much more effective.

5. Main Title
Using After Effects I created a
variety of different ways we
could present our main title. We
decided upon a white title in a
cursive writing which shatters
because we decided that this
was representative of our genre
and themes.
